akshunj Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything useful after searching the forum. I remember reading somewhere that Mandrake's "official / community / cooker" was very much like Debian's "Woody (stable) / Sarge (testing) / Sid (unstable). Is this true? If so, are there cooker ISO's available? And as of right now, is Mandy 10 CE the same as Mandy 10 official? Thanks! --Akshun J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Cooker is the next Mandrake, unstable and iffy as far as function. Take heed when they say not to put it on an operational box. Community Edition is a frozen cooker that is functional and needs to be ran on as many different hardware combos as possible. It is a 85% workable possibility. The last Community Edition had around a Gig of updates! (fixes) Official Edition is a bonafide functioning release. Any of these could work on your box, and any could fail. Mandrake is a bleeding edge type of new now distro. But the Official Edition is the most tested and most likely to succeed. Cooker iso's are frequently available from Mandrake, but you can always get them from http://www.cheapbytes.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I second the referal to http://www.cheapbytes.com I have ordered from them sdeveral times and I've always been very pleased with everything. They ship very quickly, and the CD's have hnever had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akshunj Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Thanks a bunch for the quick reply! Hmmm. I have a DVD of Mandy 10 CE, and I want to try it out as I have some funky hardware combos and I want to make sure the installer doesn't wig out. Will CE continue to be updated? --Akshun J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 CE is already a dead duck!!! As soon as the OE went into production, the CE is sort of old stuff. If you install it, and it works good, you can use urpmi to update the whole system to OE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akshunj Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 That doesn't seem right... CE should be a new cooker snapshot soon, right? Otherwise it would be worthless as a testbed if it always lagged behind OE, right? When doesn CE get the cooker update? --Akshun J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 CE is bleeding edge and should be updated throught cooker. OE is stable. CE isn't dead...it's actually newere than OE since it didn't have a version freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akshunj Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 That's a relief. Does anyone have a timeline for this? When CE will be updated, I mean. Or is it a continuous process? --Akshun J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
